The Pipe Lining Process Explained

Sewer drainage pipes and rainwater leader piping frequently create havoc for property owners and managers, and pipe lining offers a solution. Sewers and rainwater leaders leak and back up due to aging lines, root intrusion, calcification, and ground movement costing property owners millions of dollars annually in damage to their property structures and landscaping, and millions more in increased taxes due to crumbling underground infrastructure of municipalities.

In addition to the expense and inconvenience, leaking sewage and rainwater creates health risks such as contamination from mold and harmful bacteria. Backups also cause sewers to overflow, spewing deadly waste into our streets, waterways and beaches.

Trenchless technology has created an alternative to sewer drain and rainwater leader pipe replacement commonly referred to as Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP). CIPP is where a pipe is created “within the existing pipe” with special epoxy resins creating the structural strength of new pipes without damage to structures, floors, interior walls, sidewalks, streets or landscaping. The process has been in use now for over 25 years. There are two primary types of applications, the ‘pull-in-place’ (PIP) method and the ‘inversion’ method.

The Pull-In-Place Method (P.I.P.)

J.C. Dillon, Inc. specializes in the ‘pull-in-place’ (PIP) method, where the epoxy saturated liner is pulled into position where needed and cured in place and then the job is complete. In order to pull a liner in place, two access points are required, one to feed the liner in and the other to pull it into place. This is the one limitation of this process because at times there is only one access point, in which case we would use the inversion process.

Rehabilitate your sewer or water system with the most sophisticated technology available. Fiberglass reinforced ultraviolet CIPP (Cured-In-Place-Pipe) liners have become increasingly more popular and is the premium sanitary sewer, storm sewer, water main (H2O) rehabilitation product on the market today. CIPP offers an affordable alternative to traditional open cut methods by reducing impact on the community, with no digging required.
